Peshawar school attack

 Yobe school shooting

• Armed Islamic terrorists entered a government-run boarding school of 1,200 students in Mamudo village, Yobe State, Nigeria and opened fire on the students. Around 42 people, including several students were killed in the attack.

• An eyewitness describing the attack had said that the terrorists had killed the students and even burnt some of their bodies. The assailants also brought fuel to set the school on fire. 

 Chibok schoolgirls kidnapping

• On the night of 14–15 April 2014, 276 girls were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State, Nigeria by Boko Haram militants. The terrorists dressed up as guards entered the school and then kidnapped the girls. Days later, the terrorists said that the girls had been all converted to Islam and then married off.

• The hash tag #BringBackOurGirls began to trend globally on Twitter as the story continued to spread and it attracted over 2.3 million tweets.

•  Initial reports said 85 students had been kidnapped in the attack. Over the 19–20 April weekend, the military released a statement that said more than 100 of 129 kidnapped girls had been freed. However, the statement was retracted, and on 21 April, parents said 234 girls were missing. A number of the students escaped the kidnappers in two groups. According to the police, approximately 276 children were taken in the attack, of whom 53 had escaped as of 2 May. Other reports said that 329 girls were kidnapped, 53 had escaped and 276 were still missing.

• Amnesty International said it believes the Nigerian military had four hours advanced warning of the kidnapping, but failed to send reinforcements to protect the school. Nigeria's armed forces have confirmed that the Nigerian military had four hour advance notice of the attack but said that their over-extended forces were unable to mobilize reinforcements.

• Jonathan N.C. Hill of King's College, London, has pointed out that Boko Haram kidnapped these girls after coming increasingly under the influence of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and asserts that the group's goal is to use girls and young women as sexual objects and as a means of intimidating the civilian population into non-resistance. Hill describes the attacks as similar to kidnapping of girls in Algeria in the 1990s and early 2000s

• According to survivors, the gunmen gathered the victims in a central location and then began shooting and throwing explosives. The assailants also brought fuel to set the school on fire. Six students who escaped were found hiding in the bushes with gunshot wounds and taken to the hospital.More than 100 others were missing as of 6 July.

Beslan school attack• The Beslan school hostage crisis (also referred to as the Beslan

school siege or Beslan massacre) started the first of September 2004, lasted three days and involved the capture of over 1,100 people as hostages (including 777 children), ending with the death of 385 people.

• On September 1, 2004, around 32 terrorists, reportedly Chechen, began what is known today as the worst day of terror in Russia. They stormed a school in Beslan, North Ossetia, Russia and began a three-day siege, which ended in the deaths of over 300 people, 186 of which were children.

• On the first day of the takeover, the terrorists forced about 1,181 hostages, including around 855 children, 60 teachers, and about 266 parents and others into the gymnasium and issued threats saying that they would blow up the place if anyone tried entering the premises.

• After three tense days, Russian security forces entered the building after several explosions, using other heavy weapons and killed the terrorists. However, hundreds of civilian lives were also lost and went down in history as the worst ever terror attack on a school

Bath School disaster•  It was a series of violent attacks perpetrated by Andrew Kehoe on May 18, 1927, in Bath

Township, Michigan, that killed 38 elementary school children and six adults and injured at least 58 other people. Kehoe first killed his wife, firebombed his farm, and detonated a major explosion in the Bath Consolidated School before committing suicide by detonating a final explosion in his truck. It is to this day the deadliest mass murder in a school in United States history.

• Andrew Kehoe, the 55-year-old school board treasure was angered by increased taxes and his defeat in the Spring 1926 election for township clerk. He was thought to have planned his "murderous revenge" after that public defeat. He had a reputation for difficulty on the school board and in personal dealings

• Kehoe's wife was ill with tuberculosis he had stopped making mortgage payments, and he was under pressure for foreclosure. Some time between May 16 and the morning of May 18, 1927, Kehoe murdered his wife. Then on the morning of May 18 at about 8:45 a.m., he set off various incendiary devices on his homestead that caused the house and other farm buildings to be destroyed by the explosives' blast and the subsequent fires.

• Kehoe had used a timed detonator to ignite hundreds of pounds of dynamite and incendiary pyrotol which he had secretly planted inside the school over the course of many months. As rescuers began working at the school, Kehoe drove up, stopped, and used a rifle to detonate dynamite inside his shrapnel-filled truck, killing himself, the school superintendent, and several others nearby, as well as injuring more bystanders. During rescue efforts at the school, searchers discovered an additional 500 pounds (230 kg) of unexploded dynamite and pyrotol connected to a timing device set to detonate at the same time as the first explosions; the material was hidden throughout the basement of the south wing. Kehoe had apparently intended to blow up and destroy the entire school.

The Ma'alot massacre • It occurred in May 1974 and involved a two-day hostage-taking of

115 people which ended in the deaths of over 25 hostages. It began when three armed members of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP)   entered Israel from Lebanon. Soon afterwards they attacked a van, killing two Israeli Arab women while injuring a third and entered an apartment building in the town of Ma'alot, where they killed a couple and their four-year-old son. From there, they headed for the Netiv Meir Elementary School, where they took more than 115 people (including 105 children) hostage on 15 May 1974, in Ma'alot. Most of the hostages were teenagers from a high school in Safad on a Gadna field trip spending the night in Ma'alot. The hostage-takers soon issued demands for the release of 23 Palestinian militants from Israeli prisons, or else they would kill the students. On the second day of the standoff, a unit of the Golani Brigade stormed the building. During the takeover, the hostage-takers killed children with grenades and automatic weapons. Ultimately, 25 hostages, including 22 children, were killed and 68 more were injured

• Ma'alot, located on a plateau in the hills of the Western Galilee region of Israel, six miles south of the Lebanese border,[4] is a development town founded in 1957 by Jewish immigrants, mainly from Morocco and Tunisia. The attack was carried out by three members of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) dressed in Israel Defense Forces uniforms.[5]

• The DFLP terrorists infiltrated through the Nahal Mattat Nature Reserve from south of the Lebanese village of Ramish. The group entered Israel near Moshav Zar'it on Sunday night, 13 May. They were armed with AK-47 assault rifles, grenades, and plastic explosives of Czechoslovakian manufacture. They hid until the next night in the orchards near the Druze village of Hurfeish. A border patrol unit discovered their footprints but could not follow the trail, and mistakenly reported to superiors that the footprints belonged to smugglers.[citation needed]

• Proceeding to Ma'alot up the winding road, they encountered a van driven by a Druze resident of Hurfiesh bringing Christian Arab women from the village of Fassuta home from work at the Ata Textile Works in the Haifa Bay area. The leader of the operation, Linou, stood on the roadway and opened fire on the vehicle, instantly killing one woman, and wounding both the driver and other workers, one of whom later died of her wounds. The driver turned off the headlights and drove backwards up the hill towards Moshav Tzuriel.

• Reaching Ma'alot, the terrorists knocked on the doors of several homes.[3] Fortuna and Yosef Cohen heard the noise and opened their door. The terrorists shot and killed the couple, their 4-year old son Eliahu and wounded their 5-year old daughter Miriam. Fortuna, seven months pregnant, tried to flee the intruders, but she was also shot. The only one in the family who survived unhurt was 16-month-old Yitzhak, a deaf-mute.[3] From there, the militants headed for the Netiv Meir Elementary School where students on a school trip were lodged. On the way, they met Yaakov Kadosh, a sanitation worker, and asked for directions to the school. They beat and shot him, leaving him for dead.

• Netiv Meir Elementary School was a three-story concrete building with apartment buildings under construction nearby. The terrorists entered the building at 4 am, taking 102 students hostage. The teenagers spending the night in the school building were out on a three-day trip. They were students from a high school in Safad. Allegedly one of the parents of the slain teenagers had begged the headmaster to cancel the trip after learning that terrorists had entered the area. By then it was considered too late to cancel the trip because all the arrangements had been made.[6] Three of four teachers escaped by jumping through the window, abandoning their 90 pupils to their fate, which created a lot of bitterness among the parents. The teachers were immediately suspended from their posts by local authorities.[6] 85 students and several teachers were held hostage. The students were forced to sit on the floor at gunpoint, with explosive charges between them.

• In the morning, the terrorists demanded the release from Israeli prisons of 23 Arab and three other prisoners, including Kozo Okamoto – a Japanese national involved in the 1972Lod Airport Massacre. Unless these conditions were met, they declared that they would kill the students. The deadline was set for 6:00 pm the same day.

• At 10 AM a young man named Sylvan Zerach, at home on leave from the army, stood near the base of the tall concrete water tower not far from the school building to get a closer view of what was going on. He was killed by the terrorists. At an emergency session of the Knesset, a decision was reached to negotiate, but the hostage-takers turned down a request for more time. [

Nigerian town of Potiskum - a suicide bomber at a school assembly.

• A suicide bomber dressed as a student is believed to have caused the blast at the boys' school in Yobe state .

• Police suggested the militant group Boko Haram carried out the attack.• Yobe state's governor has shut all public schools around Potiskum and criticised the

government for not tackling the group.• In a statement governor Ibrahim Gaidam said: "Urgent action must be taken right now to

restore a fast-waning public confidence by doing whatever it takes to stop the escalating violence."

• Boko Haram has targeted schools during a deadly five-year insurgency aimed at establishing an Islamic state.

• It is waging a sustained campaign to prevent children from going to school. It believes girls should not attend school and boys should only receive an Islamic education.

• However thousands of people, not just schoolchildren, have been killed by the group.• On 17 October the Nigerian government claimed to have negotiated a ceasefire with

Boko Haram.• But two weeks later the group's leader, Abubakar Shekau, denied these claims and said

in a video: "We have not made ceasefire with anyone. We did not negotiate with anyone. It's a lie."

• 'Devastating attack 'The explosion ripped through the assembly hall at the Government Science Secondary School.

• Police spokesman Emmanuel Ojukwu told the BBC Hausa service the attack had left 47 people dead, including the suicide bomber. Another 79 were wounded.

• Dozens of students were injured so severely medics were unable to save them.

Some of the important guideline are:

• Schools have to compulsorily install GPS and CCTV in all school buses and CCTV in school premises

• Schools authorities must appoint Floor Vigilance Officer• After dropping the children to school, the bus drivers and

attendants must be isolated from the children• Only authorized persons should be allowed inside the

school premises• Schools must issue identity cards to parents, who pick

up and drop their wards to school• In case parents with identity cards cannot come to pick

up their wards, they must compulsorily inform the school teacher concerned through SMS, besides authorizing someone else to pick up their child.
